Drop/Undrop Text Formatting Tags

See more HTML-to-XML/Text Examples

Demonstrates how the DropTextFormattingTags and UndropTextFormattingTags methods work in the Html-to-Xml API. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lcHtml
LOCAL loH2x

*  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
*  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

lcHtml = "<html><body><p><b>Hello</b> World!<p>This is a test</body></html>"

*  Convert the above to XML
loH2x = CreateObject('Chilkat.HtmlToXml')

*  By default, text formatting tags are dropped. Text formatting HTML tags are: b, font, i, u, br, center, em, strong, big, tt, s, small, strike, sub, and sup
loH2x.Html = lcHtml
? loH2x.ToXml()

*  The resulting XML is:

*  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
*  <root>
*      <html>
*          <body>
*              <p>
*                  <text>Hello World!</text>
*              </p>
*              <p>
*                  <text>This is a test</text>
*              </p>
*          </body>
*      </html>
*  </root>

*  To preserve text formatting tags, put the h2x instance into the mode where text formatting tags are not dropped:
loH2x.UndropTextFormattingTags()

*  Convert again to see the difference:
? loH2x.ToXml()

*  The resulting XML is:

*  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
*  <root>
*      <html>
*          <body>
*              <p>
*                  <b>
*                      <text>Hello</text>
*                  </b>
*                  <text> World!</text>
*              </p>
*              <p>
*                  <text>This is a test</text>
*              </p>
*          </body>
*      </html>
*  </root>

*  Call DropTextFormattingTags to put the h2x instance back in "drop" mode.
loH2x.DropTextFormattingTags()

*  Convert again to see the difference:
? loH2x.ToXml()

*  The resulting XML is:

*  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
*  <root>
*      <html>
*          <body>
*              <p>
*                  <text>Hello World!</text>
*              </p>
*              <p>
*                  <text>This is a test</text>
*              </p>
*          </body>
*      </html>
*  </root>
